Superb photographs, Chris. It's a country I always wanted to visit ever since
my wife and I spent a forced few weeks in Salonika waiting for the car to be
repaired after a prang (and in 1960 car repairs in northern Greece were an
interesting experience). A lot of travellers were coming from Israel via Turkey
and staying over in the Youth Hostel. Their stories of Turkey and Israel were
fascinating at the time and your shots bring all the memories back.
John.

Subject: [OM] Photos of Turkey
Hi All
I am still working on my proper website, but in the meantime I have put
some photos of Turkey on my .Mac Homepage at:
http://homepage.mac.com/zuiko/PhotoAlbum6.html
Turkey is still a wonderful place to visit. I write "still" because
its monuments are crumbling through lack of maintenance. There are
thousands of ancient buildings some dating back 3,000 years (although
they are only remnants), such as the Phoenician temple that I visited
while I was stationed temporarily at Incirlik. The people are very
friendly and my only problem with the place is the way the Government
treats the Kurds.
All photos on the Homepage were taken with an OM4 on Velvia in 2000. I
know that it has taken me a while to scan them, but times were busy in
the meantime: left Turkey in Jun, started at AFNORTH in Holland in
August, hated the job so left for flying again in Jan 2001; I did not
settle down at home until October 2001... then I had to help with the
garden and washing the dishes ;-)
Let me know if any images offend - politically or aesthetically ;-)
Chris
